About Me

I love helping young women navigate their careers. Why? I was once in your shoes and know how tricky it can be to navigate your career. I listen to my clients and help them connect the dots of their career to articulate their career aspirations. My career started at a personal finance website where I became a personal finance reporter. As it was a growing startup, I learned sales, event management, marketing, editing, operations, and fundraising. Currently, I am the Senior Digital Marketing Manager for HR Consulting company Mercer. Formally, I was the Associate Director and millennial career expert for career brand WORKS, which is part of Private Equity and Marketing Startup Incubator Loeb Enterprises. I'm a trained career expert who works with brands to create career content, spokesperson platforms, and sponsorship programs. After spending nearly a decade in the editorial and marketing space working with Fortune 500 companies, I know how to create influential marketing platforms that connect to millennial consumers and generate media awareness. As a millennial career expert, I've secured several guest spots on Fox & Friends and have landed coverage in Forbes, Glamour, USA Today Business Insider, Men’s Health, Refinery29, Fox Business, and Yahoo! Finance. I frequently speak at career and leadership conferences. Most recently I spoke at the Conference for Women and the NY Small Business Expo. I work with professionals to help optimize their resumes and LinkedIn profiles as well as provide career coaching and drive our business development. Every professional has their own unique career objectives for improvement but here is a list of my most popular topics: • Revamp Your LinkedIn Profile • Effective Ways To Network Online & Off • Going from Graduation to Full-Time Job • Resume Review & Restructure • Professional & Personal Branding • Insider Interview Tips • Switching Careers • Becoming a Freelancer • Career Preparedness and Career Confidence. • Dealing With Annoying Coworkers You can learn more about me at JillJacinto.com

Jill is a true professional! She was great to talk with and gave me wonderful advice. Though I wasn't ready at the time to move forward with my career shift, I've gone back to our session notes several times because she was thorough and thoughtful during our session. Looking forward to connecting with her again!

Jill was incredibly helpful in reviewing my resume and offering advice for changes that will help me in my job search. She was very thoughtful and genuine.

This was my second session with Jill. She is very easy to talk to and her advice was extremely helpful. She gave me very clear and thorough advice for my job search. Having her perspective really has helped me view my job search in a different light. I am more confident and feel I have the right tools to pursue a new path.

Talking to Jill gave me the energy and confidence I needed to refresh my job search. She is a great listener and provided really helpful guidance on how to strategize my job search and optimize my resume and transferable skill sets.

Overall, I was underwhelmed with my session and it was not worth $110. I picked Jill based on her bio and experience. While Jill was nice enough, the information she shared with me was not any different than information I already knew or information that I could have easily found myself while doing my own research. I had done coaching sessions in the past with Career Contessa so I trusted the site and the people serving as coaches. This was a disappointment.

Jill was so helpful to talk with when I was struggling with leaving my current role and deciding if I should accept a new position. It was so beneficial to talk through my concerns and thoughts of the pros and cons with Jill as a 3rd party perspective. She had good ideas for me look into after our session and provided some additional resources on a couple of topics we discussed as well. Very insightful!
